"The purpose of diversification is so that when one investment goes down or is not doing well, you are insulated from the result because of the others you have in place. In a job or career, most of us are trying to specialize so much so that weve ended up with all of our eggs in the same basket. Thats not managing risk at all. Thats putting yourself at risk." - Chris Lutz"

"After a few minutes Erica pulled back slightly. "I thought you were supposed to be trying to seduce me?" "Seems like you needed this more." "You dont want to…" "Erica, I always want you, but I still want to be here with you even if were not going to make love." "I thought most guys said ‘have sex." "Most of the time thats what it is, but thats not what were doing." His words made her stomach lurch and flutter. "I will be whatever you need." "I need you Ethan." She whispered running her fingertips over his lower lip. "I need you to make love to me right now." He grinned and tightened his grip on her. "I think that can be arranged."

"Being a 911 operator means balancing seemingly contradictory skills. On one hand, operators have to be fanatically precise and well-organized. On the other, they must be able to establish rapport with panicky callers."

"We have inherited a fear of memories of slavery. It is as if to remember and acknowledge slavery would amount to our being consumed by it. As a matter of fact, in the popular black imagination, it is easier for us to construct ourselves as children of Africa, as the sons and daughters of kings and queens, and thereby ignore the Middle Passage and centuries of enforced servitude in the Americas. Although some of us might indeed be the descendants of African royalty, most of us are probably descendants of their subjects, the daughters and sons of African peasants or workers." - Author: Angela Y.

"It has no enforceable standards to stop a union from conspiring with employers to keep another stronger union out or from negotiating contracts with lower pay and standards that members of another union have spent a lifetime establishing." - Author: Andy Stern

"The idea that one will die is more painful than dying, but less painful than the idea that another person is dead, that, becoming once more a still, plane surface after having engulfed a person, a reality extends, without even a ripple at the point of disappearance from which that person is excluded, in which there no longer exists any will, any knowledge, and from which it is as difficult to reascend to the idea that that person has lived as, from the still recent memory of his life, it is to think that he is comparable with the insubstantial images, the memories, left us by the characters in a novel we have been reading." - Author: Marcel Proust

"Itd be easy to blame everything on 9/11 or the wars that came after. Its really about the choices we made. By necessity we adapt to the realities of the world we live in, but if we forget that how we live shapes and influences the world around us, then weve already lost." - Author: Tucker Elliot

"Learning about sex was a little bit like learning grammar. Every teacher you had assumed some other teacher taught you the year before, or the year before that, as if none of them wanted to talk about it, as if grammar was a bunch of dirty words. A massive silence surrounded dangling participles and infinite clauses, and you learned to fear making mistakes you didnt know how to avoid." - Author: Ann E. Imbrie

"My films are expressive of a culture that has had the possibility of attaining material fulfillment while at the same time finding itself unable to accomplish the simple business of conducting human lives. We have been sold a bill of goods as a substitute for life. What is needed is reassurance in human emotions; a re-evaluation of our emotional capacities." - Author: John Cassavetes
